We beg respectfully to announce that we have authorized 
Messrs. Jewett & Root, Buffalo, N. Y., to manufacture and sell 
exclusively, our "Ventilator" base-burning and base-heating Stove, 
in all of the Western States, in Western New York, and in Pennsyl- 
vania west of the Allegheny mountains. Parties in the above 
territory who desire to secure the sale of the stove this season, 
are requested to negotiate with .Tkwett & Root, r>uffalo, N. Y.

A Self-Feeding and Base-Burning Stove is so obviously prefera- 
ble to any other which is deficient in these qualities, although 
otherwise equally good, that no argument is required to prove its 
superiority. 

If a stove possesses all of the good qualities of the best old 
fashioned stove, it is only necessary to prove that it is really Self- 
Feeding and Base-Burning, in order to establish its decided supe- 
riority over the whole class of stoves constructed on the old plan. 



Base-hurnhig stoves have attracted nuich attention during the two 
or three 3'ears just passed, from the fact that a continuous lire 
could be maintained, but all of this class of stoves, except the 
"Ventilator," have acknowledged defects. 

Those heretofore having the largest sale are without any hase- 
heating arran'jemeni — without diving flues. Such stoves will con- 
sume from 25 to 50 per cent, more coal than a stove rightly made, 
with a diving flue arrangement. 

The hnse-hurning feature is no more important than the base- 
heatwg feature. 

The "Ventilator" is the only successful base-burner and base- 
heating stove ever made, and the experience of the last two years 
has proved its entire success; and the demand has been so great 
that Bus well, Durant & Co. have been able to supply but a small 
part of the orders pressed upon them, and for this reason they 
have made arrangements with us for its manufacture. 

The Ventilator has now been brought to such a degree of per- 
fection, and the results of actual trial on a lai-ge scale have been 
so completely satisfactory, that we are perfectly willing to have it 
subjected l-o the most rigid inspection and trial by the side of any 
stove in the couutiy. 

We guarantee that the Ventilator is svperior to any stove in the 
market as a Heater, as a Gas Burner, and as an Economical 
Consumer of Fuel! It also Exckls in Neatness, SiMi-LiorrY 

OE MANA(iEMF.NT, AND IN ivEEI'ING A CoNTINUOlTS FiRE ! 



IT POSSESSES THE FOLLOWING SPECIAL POINTS OF EXCEL- 
LENCE, WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN NO OTHER 
BASE-BURNER.' 

Self- VeiltllatioJl. — lusuring a wholesome Atmosphere. 

Base- Heatillg.— Two hirge Return Fhies force the heat to 
the liase of the Stove, insuring warm floors and warm feet. 

JVo jExplos' 1 071S. --The Gas does not pass up into the Coal 
in the Feeder, and therefore no explosion can possibly take place. 

Brilliant IlliOmination.— This is secured by Mica lights 
on three sides of the stove. 

FeT'fect Regulation.— Tha lire is controlled perfectly by 
the use of a single damper. Jt kindles rapidly and easily. 

ONE OTHER PECULIARITY OF THE VENTILATOR RENDERS 

IT SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHER BASE-BURNING STOVES. 

IT IS THE PATENT 

WATER HEATING ATTACHMENT! 

It is for boiling a Tea Kettle, heating Irons, *fec. This is 

desirable for Housekeepers, invaluable for Boarders, and just 

the thing for Oflices, Hotels, Saloons, &c. 

NO OTHEE BASE-BUHNER HAS THIS ABRAN&EMENT ! 

The Ventilator is sold either with or without the Water-Heating 
Attachment. 

There are Three Sizes of the Ventilator. The largest size, No. 
13, can be converted into a Parlor Heater. When so arranged, 

It will HEAT BOTH A LOWER and UPPER Room ! 

THE VENTILATOR BURNS CHESTNUT COAL ONLY. 

21ie supphj of fuel in exact proportion to its consumption, which is 
the characteristic of a self-feeding stove, is the most natural, and 
therefore the most philosophical and economical plan which could 
possibly be devised. 



The consumption of the fuel from the bottom in conjunction 
with direct down flues which carry the heat to the base of the 
stoves, constitutes the principle of base-biirning and base-heating, 
and secures the obvious but unusual advantage of heating the air 
in the lower part of the room. 

It also elfects a more perfect combustion of the coal and a more 
complete consumption of the noxious gases than is eflfected in any 
other Avay. 

The superiority of the base-burning and base-heating principle 
being established, we feel confident of securing the attention of 
the trade to the Ventilator, which will be found to be the most 
perfect stove ever made in its operation, in construction, and in 
beauty of design and finish. 

The ventilator is a peculiarly healthful stove, anu 
FOR these reasons: 

I. 

Its ventilating power is unusually perfect. 

This desirable object is attained in the construction of the 
Ventilator, by leaving an opening in the back of each stove. 
This opening is similar in size and shape to that of an ordinary 
damper, but differs from it in being always left open. 

This simple expedient renders the ventilating power of this 
stove more perfect than that of any other stove. 

It produces, in the first place, an increased circulation of air 
through the stove when the front or draft-damper is open. 

It also secures another great desideratum which stove manufac- 
turers have hitherto considered unattainable, and in which most, 
if not all, other stoves are wholly deficient. 

It secures a perfect ventilation when the draft-(kimj)er is closed. 

This peculiarity is of itself sufficiejit to justify the claim that 
this stove is par excellence, 

THE! '^T'ESlWTXXj-A.'I'OIil. 

1. The salutary effect of a continued never failing A^entilation, such 
as is secured in the manner explained above, is too well understood 
to require explanation. It purifies the atmosphere of the room by 
increasing its circulation, and it is also useful in the expulsion and 
combustion of noxious gases, which would otherwise have a ten- 
dency to accumulate in the stove, and escape into the room. 

2. It is an unusually perfect gas consumer. 



9 

H. It has the advantage of all Self-Feediug Stoves iu having an 
arrangement by which a vessel for heating water can be attached 
to the pipe when so ordered by the purchaser. This is a patented 
article, and we have the exclusive right to the manufacture and 
sale of the same. 

II. 

IT EXCELS PARTICULARLY AS A BASE-HEATER. 

Being furnished with a revertible or Return Flue, by which the 
heat may be made to circulate through the lower part of the stove 
when desired. 

This forcing of the heat into the lower part of the stove causes 
the heating of the air near the floor of the room, and produces a 
healthful and agreeable effect. 



IIL 



IT IS A CHEERFUL ILLUMINATING STOVE. 

Three sides of the stove are furnished with mica windows, thus 
rendering the fire visible. This peculiarity causes it to approach 
as nearly as possible to a fire-place in cheerfulness. 

The mica in these windows can be removed and cleaned with 
the greatest facility, with simply a damp cloth. Clean often. 



IV. 



IT IS SAFE. 

It does not generate gas in the feeder, and consequently no 
precautions against explosions are necessary, as in the case of 
nearly all, if not all other self-feeding stoves. 

Not a single case of exjolosion has ever occurred with this stove. 



IT EXCELS IN THE FACILITY AND QUICKNESS WITH 

WHICH FIRE CAN BE KINDLED IN IT. 

2 



10 

VI. 

IT IS DURABLE. 

It is made chiefly of cast-iron, and is therefore not only durable 
when in use, but is less liable than most stoves to injury in ship- 
ping, handling, etc. 

It is also so constructed as to be very easily repaired. 

VII. 

THE USE OF THE REVERTIBLE FLUE IS AVARRANTED 

NOT TO CAUSE THE ESCAPE OF GAS. 

This flue is so large that it does not require cleaning oftener 
than once in a season. This operation is extremely simple and 
can be performed by any person in two or three minutes. 

VIIL 

IT HAS AN ASH-PAN LARGE ENOUGH TO CONTAIN ALL 
THE ASHES PRODUCED IN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS. 

The fire-pot is large, made of cast-iron, and will be lined with 
fire-brick. 

IX. 

IT USES CHEAP FUEL. 

The fuel used must be Chestnut coal. 

It can always be bought at a lower price than large coal. 

X. 

IT IS A LABOR-SAVING STOVE. 

The feeder or reservoir being once filled to the top, no coal need 
be added within at least twenty-four hours even in verj^ cold 
weather. 

In moderate weather, by regulating the damper, the same quan- 
tity may he made to last for more than double that time. 

There is, therefore, a saving of the trouble and dust occasioned 
by the frequent application of fuel which is'necessary in the old 
fashioned stoves. 



11 

XI. 

THE COAL IN THE FEEDER NEVER TAKES FIRE. 

Actual trial has fully established the fact that the fire never 
gets up into the feeder. 

It is, therefore, perfectly safe to fill it completely with coal, and 
it is desirable as a saving of labor and dust. 

It is also perfectly certain that no more coal need be burned 
when the feeder is completely full, than when it is partially so, or 
■entirely empt3\ 

The quantity of coal consumed is regulated b}^ the Draft 
Damper entirely, whether the Feeder is full or empty. 

XII. 

THE CASTINGS, MOUNTINGS, AND EVERYTHING PER- 
TAINING TO THE MANUFACTURE OF THE 
"VENTILATOR" ARE OF THE HIGHEST 
ORDER OF WORKMANSHIP. 



DIRECTIONS FOR USE. 

To Kindle the Fike. — Open the front damper, and also the 
damper in the pipe. Put in shavings through the front door 
suflScient to ignite two or three quarts of charcoal, and then add 
the charcoal. 

When the charcoal is fairly ignited, put in a small quantity of 
hard coal. 

When the fire has burned through the coal, add more — a little 
at a time, until the fire-pot is nearly full. 

When this is burned through, or nearly so, open the cover on 
the top of the stove and fill the Reservoir full to the top. 

When the coal in the Fire-Pot is entirely burned through, close 
the Pipe Damper and regulate the fire by the Front or Draft 
Damper. 

If the stove is new, the Front Damper should be closed and the 
fire checked before closing the damper in the pipe. 



12 

When the Stove is in use, the top cover should not be opened, 
except for the purpose of supplying the feeder with coal; and care 
should be taken to see that it is immediately closed tight, that 
no draft may be created up through the feeding chamber. 

If it should at any time be observed that ashes accumulate on 
the sides of the fire-pot, open the front door of the fire chamber 
and with the poker loosen the ashes from the fire brick and they 
will drop down, and by shaking the grate will deposit in the ash 
pan, leaving the fire clear and bright. 

To connect the Hot Water attachment to the Stove, remove the 
loose cast iron collar from the top of the sheet iron flue on the 
back of the stove, the flange on the bottom of the Heater fitting in 
the flue pipe in place of the collar, as shown in the engraving. 

To Clean the Flues. — Remove the "Flue Stop" from the rear 
bottom of the Stove, and with a scraper draw the ashes from each 
flue on the right and left hand sides of the stove. 

The management of the Ventilator is so simple tliat no other 
directions are considered necessary. 

USP: CHESTNUT SIZE COAL ONLY. 



SIZES OF THE VENTILATOR. 

We are now manufacturing three sizes of the Ventilator: 
No. 10, No. 11, and No. 18. 

The largest size, No. 13, is convertible into a Parlor Heater, 
When so ordered, we furnish them with a cross-head, to which a 
pipe can be attached, for heating an upper room.- . 



TESTIMONIALS, 

We annex a few of the man}- very flattering 0[)inious of the 
merits of the Ventilator that have been received: 

Buffalo, March 4th, 1868. 
ilfessTS. Buswell, Durant & Co., Troy, N. Y. 

Gentlemen: — We regard your Ventilator as the ne plus ultra of all Base 
Burning Stoves. In fact, we consider it the best heating stove manufactured. 

Our senior partner has had an experience of over eighteen years in the retail 
stove business in this city, and in all that time, we can say that the Ventilatoi- 
is the only base-burning stove we have sold which has given universal and perfect 
satisfaction. 

As you are aware, we have purchased of you over three hundred (300) Venti- 
lators since the first ot August last, and should have bought one hundred (lOOi 
more if you could have filled our orders in time. JVhat we have done with the 
Ventilator, has been against the strongest competition that could be brought to 
bear, with such stoves as the Morning Glory, Oriental, etc., which have been in 
great demand hitherto. 

Respectfully yours. JOHN C. JEWETT & SON. 

Chicago, March fith, ISGB. 
31fssrs. Busicell, Durant cfc Co., Troy, N. Y. 

Gentlemen: — By referring to your books you will find I have sold nearly three 
hundred Ventilators the past season, and could have sold double the number if 
you could have supplied me. 

The testimony in their favor is unanimous, and while I have been brought in 
direct competition with all the other leading Base Burning Stoves, («old in the 
same block, ) it required but very little effort for customers to see the many good 
things in the Ventilator, so much superior to all the others. I predict a large 
sale for the Ventilator wherever they have been introduced, and so long as you 
continue to make them as perfect as heretofore, you will have your full share of 
the trade. 

I recommend the Ventilator, in full confidence', and shall make it my leading 
stove the coming season. 

Very truly yours, R. R. DAY, 52 State street. 

Dansville, N. Y., March Sth, 1868. 
3fessrs. Buswdl, Durant & Co., Troy, N. Y. 

Gentlemen: — Our experience with the Ventilator has been very satisfactory 
indeed. We consider it the most powerful heater for a base heater that we have 
had any experience with. It is a very cheerful as well as an economical stove, 
and we can recommend it with confidence to our customers. We expect to sell a 
large number of them the coming season. 

Respectfully yours, BROWN & GRANT, 

Dansville, Livingston Co. 

Detroit, March 4th, 1868. 
Messrs. Buswell, Durant d: Co., Troy, N. Y. 

Gentlemen: — We have sold all the Ventilators that we could obtain from you, 
and we might have sold more. We don't know of a single instance where they 
have not given entire satisfaction. In fact, the testimony of all is that it is the 
best base burning stove now in use. 



14 

In connection with the above, we would further state that we have had two 
Ventilators on trial all winter in one of our large Union Schools, where tjiey had 
also on trial the Morning Glory, Oriental, Empire Gas Burner and others, and' 
after this long trial, the Ventilator is pronounced by the Principal and Teachers 
the best heater and most economical stove of all. 

We remain truly yours. SALES & PELGRDI. 

Castile, N. Y., March 5th, 1S68, 
3Iessrs. Buswell, Durant & Co., Troy, N. Y. 

Gextlemex: — We have used your Ventilator, No. 13, in our store the past 
winter. • We have also sold several of them, of each size, in this section, and we 
simply unite with our customers in saying we think it the best stove in the mar- 
ket, all things considered. 

It is a perfect stove in all the essential points requisite in a parlor heater, 
which are base-burning, gas-burning, economy in fuel, easy to control, self- 
feeding, and by means of the concentric rings at the mouth of the feeder, entirely 
preventing explosion of gas, which to all persons burning coal, is very offensive. 
The water heater, as now attached, is a valuable improvement. All of these 
and many other reasons combine to make it the most perfect stove we have ever 
become acquainted with. 

Yours respectfully, . A. N. WALLACE & CO. 

RocuESTER, March 4th, 1S68. 
Messrs. Buswell, Durant ifc Co., Troy, N. Y. 

Gextlemen: — I have put up fifteen Ventilator stoves this season, and have- 
taken the trouble to ascertain how they are liked, and find on inquiry that they 
give perfect satisfaction. The Ventilator is a perfect gas consumer, economical, 
and one of the best heating stoves I have ever sold. I think that I can sell this 
year two hundred (200) without doubt. I could have sold double what I did last 
fall if I could have had them. 

Yours respectfully, F. TULLEY, 

Auburn, N. Y., March Ifith, 1868. 
Messrs Buswell, Durant tfc Co., Troy^ JV. Y. 

Gentlemen: — I have been engaged in the stove trade for the past thirty years, 
and during that time have sold many parlor coal stoves of different ]iatterns. I 
can say I never had a stove that has given such universal satisfaction as your 
base-burning parlor stove Ventilator, which I have sold for the past three years, 
and I want the exclusive sale of the same in the future. I could have sold more 
if yon could have filled my orders, and I am pleased to learn that you have dis- 
posed of some territory, so that the difficulty of waiting will be obviated in future. 

Wishing you success in the future as in the past, 

I remain yours truly, WALTER WINCH. 

Newark, N. J., March 7th, 1868. 

Messrs. Buswell, Durant ct Co., Troy, N. Y. 

Gentlemen: — Your new parlor stove, the Ventilator, first introduced in this" 
community by me during last fall and winter, has not only given entire satisfac- 
tion, but has been particularly praised by all who have used it. I consider it 
superior to any stove I have ever sold, and in all respects as recommended byyoiu 

Respectfully yours, W. F. LITTELL. 



15 

Providen'ce, R. I., March od, 18G8. 
Messrs. Busicell, Durant it Co., Troy, N. Y. 

Gextlemen: — We have had a trial of the Morning Gloiy, Oriental and Lily, 
also some other inferior base-burning and self-feeding stoves, but we must say 
that the Ventilator is superior in all respects to any of the others. In economy 
it is unsurpassed. It is nicely put together, rendering it perfectly air tight. 

It radiates the heat evenly, and seems to throw it into all parts of the room 
alike. It far surpasses any stove in this market, and we have had ample oppor- 
tunities to test it. Although this was our first season with it, if you could have 
fully supplied us, we should undoubtedly have sold three times the number we 
did. 

Yours respectfully, WARD & TROW. 

North Adams, Mass., March lltb, 1868. 
Messrs. Buswell, Durant & Co., Troy, N. Y. 

Gentlemen: — The Ventilators which we have bought of you give good satis- 
faction and have secured the favor of all who have used them. We do not see 
how any improvements can be made upon them, and we are sure their use cannot 
fail to establish their superiority over all base-burning stoves that have hitherto 
come into use. 

Very respectfully yours. SHELDON, SONS & CO. 

Schenectady, March 9th, 1868. 
Messrs. Buswell, Durant cfcX'o., Troy, N. Y. 

Gentlemen: — I am very much pleased with your Ventilator. I have been 
using one at my house the past winter and it has given perfect satisfaction. 

I have had about thirty for my fall and winter trade, and every one has spoken 
for itself. My customers are all well pleased with them. I expect to have a 
large sale on the Ventilator next fall. 

Respectfully yours, GEO. K. DOTY. 

Morristown, N. J., March 13th, 1868. 
Messrs. Busioell. Durant cfc Co., Troy, JV. Y. 

Gentlemen: — I have no hesitation in saying that your self-feeding Ventilator 
parlor stove is the best as well as the most economical heating stove now in the 
market, and gives the best satisfaction to purchasers. 

I have sold them for the past two winters, and those who have used them give 
them the highest praise. 

By permission, I send the names of a few in this town who ai-e using them, as 
reference : 

Silas Norris, F. S. Freeman, 

George Henden, Wm. M. Sanborn, M. D. 

J. L. Clark, J. Norris, 

G. W. Howell, S. H. Emmons. 

Yours, respectfully, J. M. BENJAMIN. 

Brooklyn, E. D., March 9th, 1868. 
Mess7-s. Busioell, Durant ct Co., Troy, N. Y. 

Gentlemen: — I have sold a number of your Ventilator self-feeders, and they 
have given perfect satisfaction in every case. My customers are well pleased 
with them, and I think next season I shall be able to double and triple my orders 
of this year. The Ventilator being beautiful of finish and attractive to the eye, 
is much better adapted for parlors or sitting rooms than other stoves of the same 
principle, and recommends itself to heads of families for their private dwellings. 
I have no hesitation in recommending it to all whom it may concern. 

Yourstruly, JOS. "McKEE, 

155 Grand street, Brooklyn, E. D. 



16 

Syracuse, June 3d, 18()7. 
Messrs. Baswell, Diirant & Co., Troy, N. Y. 

Gentlemen:— I wish to express to you my opinion of your parlor store. "The 
"Ventilator." I have used one at my house, and also one at my store, and have 
sold fifty-three (53) during the past season. Such a number of stoves have of 
course been managed by many different persons and under a variety of influ- 
ences, such as the difference in the draft of chimneys, etc., which, as you are 
aware, have a great effect upon the operation of all stoves, I am glad to inform 
you that I have not in a single instance, received the first word of complaint, 
but, in each individual case the same decided expression of approval. 

From one season's experience in the sale and use of "The Ventilator," I am 
free to admit that I consider it the most economical in fuel, the most perfect con- 
sumer of gasei?, and the most powerful heater of any base-burning stove with 
which I am acquainted. "With fifteen year.s' experience in the stove business I 
am unable to suggest an improvement in its construction. It seems to be abso- 
lutely perfect in its operation. 

Wishing you the success to which you are entitled, as the inventors of so per- 
fect a stove as "The "Ventilator," I have the honor to be, gentlemen, 

Yours, truly, J. H. CLOUGH. 

West Troy, June ICth, 1867. 
Messrs. Busioell. Durant ct Co., Troy, N. Y. 

Gentlemen:— We desire to give you our opinion of your Parlor Stove, "The 
Ventilator," as a rjas-dons^iming, base-hurning and selj-feeding stove. 

We have been connected with the stove business for the last eighteen years and 
have seen nearly all, if not all the celebrated stoves of this class; but we must, 
say that in our opinion "The Ventilator" stands to-day preeminent in all the 
advantages you claim for it. 

]t is perfect in combustion; a thorough gas-burner, and the simplest stove to 
manage that is sold in the market. 

Owing to these good qualities, we have sold iu the space of three months thirty- 
five (S5) of "The Ventilators" in competition with all of the celebrated stoves 
now offered to the public, and in no case have we taken one down from any 
defect. On the contrary, they have invariably given the most perfect satisfaction. 

We have no hesitation in recommending "The Ventilator" to the fullest confi- 
dence of the public, feeling sure that it will soon be acknowledged as the cham- 
pion Vjase-burning stove of the country. 

Respectfully yours, SMITH & GIFFIN. 



West Troy, June 10th, 18C7. 
3Iessrs.' Busioell, Du7-ant d: Co., Troy, N. Y. 

Gentlemen: — We, the undersigned, officers of Evening Star Lodge, No. 75, 
F. and A. M.. take pleasure in informing you that your No. 13 base-burning stove, 
called "The Ventilator,'' which we have used the past winter in our hall, has 
given to us and the members of the Lodge perfect satisfaction. 

It operates well as a base-burner, a self-feeder and gas-consumer. 

We have been particularly pleased with its heating capacity, the slight amount 
of trouble required in its management, and the ease with which a continuous 
fire is kept. 

From the seventh of last Novemljer, when it was put up, a fire was kept in it 
constantly, night and day, until warm weather set in, and this was accomplished 
by shaking down, removing the ashes, and applying fresh coal but once in twenty- 
four hours. 

Of its merits as a heater we cannot speak too highly. Our hall is sixty (60) 
feet long, by thirty (30) feet wide, with a ceiling fifteen (15) feet high, and was 
kept comfortably warm, night and day. even in the coldest weather. 

At night, after shaking and supplying with coal, we could by opening the front 
(or draft) damper, make the hall too warm for comfort in from twenty to thirty 
minutes. 



17 

We also had one of your No. U Ventilators in our ante-room, fifteen (15) feet 
square, connecting by folding doors with another room of the same size, both of 
which have been kept comfortable during the whole time, and the amount of coal 
consumed by both stoves was only three tons. 

Hoping you may meet with success commensurate with the merits of your 
stove, we remain, 

Respectfully yours. D. W. TALLCOTT, W. M. 

C. G. WOODWARD. S. W. 

D. M. ERSKTNE. J. W. 
ABRAM A. KING. Tyler. 

Messrs. Buswell, Darant & Co., Troy, N. Y. 

Gextlemex: — You ask my opinion of your base-burning stove, ''The Ven- 
tilator." 

My answer is, that 1 have given it a thorough trial, and am so well pleased 
with it that I would not sell it for one hundred dollars if I could not buy another 
of the same kind for less money. 

I used the "Morning Glory" for three winters and thought no other stove 
etpialled it. But last winter I used one of your No. 11 Ventilators, and kept it 
running night and day through the season. 

I have, therefore, had a fair opportunity of comparing "The Ventilator" with 
the famous "Morning Glory," and must say that I give "The Ventilator" a 
decided preference. 

In fact, I consider it the best gas consumer, the most powerful heater, the 
easiest managed, and last but not least, the most economical stove that I have 
ever seen. 

With the best wishes for your success^ in introducing "The Ventilator" into 
general use, 

I am, very^truly yours, ROBERT NOXON.

Gentlemen: — We are pleased to learn that you propose to manufacture "The 
Ventilator," as we were unable to get our orders fdJed last season. There has 
been no coal stove introduced here that compares at all with "The Ventilator." 
It gives unusual satisfaction, and already our citizens are making inquiries if we 
are sure we can supply them the coming fall and winter. 

We enclose a list of the names of the fortuna.te ones who enjoyed the luxury of 
using the Ventilators last season, to whom reference can be had. 

Truly yours, WILCOX & BRO. 

Detroit, April 14th, 1SG8. 
3Iessrs. Sales d; Pelgrim. 

Gentlemen: — This is to certify that two (2) of your No. 13 Ventilators have 
been in use in the Bishop Union School House since last September, in competi- 
tion with the Morning Glory, Oriental, Empire Gas Burner and Stewart stoves, 
aud I find that for rapidity of heating, economy of fuel, and ease of management 
they have no equal. J. B. COUSINS, 

General Agent of Board of Education. Detroit. 



Avon, N. T., April 7th, 18G8. 
Messrs. Jeicett <t Root. 

Gentlemen: — I did not sell many of the Ventilators last season, from the fact 
that I was unable to get them. I call them a first class hase-burner, and far ahead 
of any 1 have sold. I should have made sale of twenty of them could the makers 
have supplied me. 

Yours respectfully, A H. ISHAM.

Wrstkield, N. Y., April 2d, 1S6S. 
Messrs. Jewett & Boot. 

Gentlemen: — I have never been able to get from Buswcll, Duraiit it Co., but 
two of the Ventilators. I sold one of them to Mr. William Britiou, and the other 
to Mr. William Sexton, both of this village. I consider them the best coal heat- 
ing stove I have ever sold. 

Yours, truly, W. R. REID. 

Hartford, Ct., March 29, 18GS. 
Messrs. Busicell, JDurant dc Co., Troy, N. Y. 

Gentlemen: — We have sold over twenty of your Ventilators the past winter, 
and can truly say they have given universal satisfaction. 

They keep lire all winter from one kindling, are easily regulated, consume all 
the gas, are free from dust, and in our opinion are the most perfect parlor stove 
in the market. 

We enclose a few testimonials from some of our customers who have used them 
the past winter. 

Truly yours, CHILD & BULL. 



Hartford, Ct., March 11th, 1SG8. 
Messrs. Child c6 Bull. 

Gentlemen: — In reply to your inquiries as to the operation of the No. 11 
Ventilator which I purchased of you the 31st of October last, I would say. that 
I have employed it to heat two sitting-rooms, 15x15 feet, connected by sliding 
doors, with ceiling 10 feet high, and have found it unnecessary to burn the coal 
above a bright cherry heat to keep these rooms comfortable in the coldest weather- 
The stove has been run constantly, night and day, to this date, (March 14, 1868.) 
and has consumed about one and one-fourth tons of chestnut size coal. Its heat 
is uniform, and its ventilation is such that the atmosphere is satisfactory and 
agreeable. The stove is regulated with trifling attention, and, except in vary- 
ing, windy days, the fire is so regular that usually the draft requires no altera- 
tion during an entire day. 

In keeping fire through the night I am accustomed to set the draft by a gauge 
1 have established, and I find that I can rely upon its condition in the morning. 
The stove can be burned at a very low heat and such a heat be continued as reg- 
ularly as a higher one. As to freedom from dust I cannot see how it can be 
imjiroved. It is shaken with every door and draft closed, and as these are ground 
dust tight, it is practically perfect in this resjiect. The grate operates without 
exception. Dumping is not required at all, as no clinker is formed which cannot 
be discharged by shaking. I am accustomed to shake the grate once in twelve 
hours, though it can be burned much longer. I have never detected any escape 
of gas whatever, and in my opinion in this respect it is perfect. 

I am pleased, gentlemen, to recommend this stove, which I have found to be 
all that is needed for useful and practical purposes. 

I am, very respectfully yours, GEORGE CASE. 



^Etxa Life Insurance Companv. ) 
Hartford, Conn., March 31st, 1SG8. S 
Messrs. Child & Bull, 

Gents: — During the winter just passed I have been using a No. 11 size of your 
"Ventilator" stove to heat a couple of chambers, and am prepared to say that I 
consider it the best stove for parlors or chambers with which I am acquainted. 
Its external beauty, its economy in the consumption of coal, its evenness of work- 
ing, and the little attention required to manage and regulate it. all commend it 
to "those who are seeking to obtain the very best article in the way of a stove. 



19 

One can use a poker, or shake and dump the grate, or add more coal to the fire; 
•without being annoyed by the escape of ashes or gas into the room. The ashes 
all fall into the pan placed to receive them, and not some of them on the bottom 
of the stove, a point with regard to the cleanliness of a stove, which I consider of 
great importance. In short, it is a superb store; and I, in common, I believe, 
with all who have used it, am highly pleased and satisfied with the " Ventilator.'" 

Respectfully Yours, 

B. G. tV'HITMAN. 

Matvii.le, June 2d, 1808. 
Jlessrs. Jewett & Root: 

I have used the -'Ventilator" during the past winter, and do not hesitate to 
say that I believe it to be, by far, the best stove in use. I would not part with 
it for double what it cost. 

Yours, Truly, 

E. MOTSES. 



Mayville, June 4th, 1868. 
Messrs. Jewett tfc Root : 

Having used the "Ventilator" during the past winter, I have no hesitation in 
saying, that I believe it to be the best base burning coal stove in the market. It 
is more simple, and less complicated in its construction, than any other Base 
Burner that I have yet seen. 

I consider the hot-air chamber, which is constructed for the purpose of re- 
heating the air in the room or rooms, one of the great achievements which has, 
of late, been accomplished in perfecting the utility and comforts of the coal stove; 
it creates a draft or current of air in your rooms (which gives the stove the name 
of '' Ventilator") by this process of re-heating, which makes the temperature in 
all parts of the room more uniform than it otherwise would be. 

I can cheerfully recommend the " Ventilator"' to any one who may be desirous 
of procuring a first-dass coal stove.
